I came in to see Dr. Prince because my aligners needed to be replaced. I didn't have an appointment…read morebut they were gracious enough to provide a quote and scan me for a new set of nighttime aligners. What I most appreciate is that Dr. Prince advised me that my bite could use a slight correction that they could build into the new aligners. I gladly accepted. I was in and out in less than an hour. This is an efficiently run business. I'll be back for more service.

stay away fro m this place at all cost. I went in for a "free consultation " to see what I need…read moredone which wasn't free at all they charged my insurance for that. place looks nice but just not good people. I would get texts at night and on weekends telling me to come in. once I got new insurance I went in and I don't have but a couple teeth left which I can't eat properly with so I'm getting sick because of that. Anyway they decided not to accept what insurance will pay and wanted another 8,000 dollars plus what insurance pays. I can't afford that and instead of doing something good for someone I guess what insurance pays doesn't quite cover that and they chose not to help. Since then no follow up or even an email in a weekday to see if they can help. it's not often people's greed gets in the way of doing the right thing but they had no problem with that. Save yourself the time.

REVISED REVIEW OF FIRST POINT DENTAL…read more The first dentist told me I had two cavities to fill. I went in to get them filled and found out the first dentist was not in - it was the owner. He told me I needed a crown and a possible root canal. I told him I wanted a second opinion. I got the second opinion. The new dentist told me I did not need a root canal it was just a large filling that I needed. The new dentist told me I had a small cavity on Tooth #30 that neither dentist from First Pont Dental caught. The new dentist told me I needed to get my teeth cleaned. I told him I just got them cleaned at First Point Dental five weeks prior. The first dentist from First Point Dental used a silver thing with water in it and knicked me twice which really hurt. I ran my tongue over my teeth after the new dentist told me that and sure enough I could feel all the plaque. The first dentist did not even use a silver pick. Patients beware of First Point Dental. I truly believe they do not know what they are doing. I don't know how two different dentists from the same office can look at the same x-ray and come up with such different opinions. Especially the first one. Two cavities (no mention of a crown) and not cleaning my teeth properly. And, of course, both of them missing the cavity on Tooth number 30. In retrospect, the new dentist just fixed the two teeth that needed repair work. He told me they needed the repair work for quite awhile. If First Point Dental would have told me this a year or two ago, I could have avoided the extra repair work which not only cost me extra money but also my insurance company. It would have been just a couple of cavities like the first dentist said and nothing more. Also, First Point Dental goes under three different names. First Point Dental, The Dental Specialists, P.C. and Dentistry for Everyone. What is going on - sounds fishy to me.

Today was my fourth appointment with First Point Dental…read more My first appointment was with a new dentist, who took an inordinate amount of time. I received apologies and a follow up call from the office manager and was assured that I would be served better in the future. That has been very true and I am so happy to have stayed with this office. The next dentist I saw was wonderful. Today's visit was with Dr Jai Batth, who was so impressive! From his initial introducing himself to my observations of his interactions with the dental assistant, to explanations of next steps, he set me at ease. I felt that I was in competent hands and that he cared about my experience of that care. At the begginning, I had a question about work that was previously prescribed and his response was to double check and describe what he saw. At the end, his suggestions for proactive care were helpful. I have also very much appreciated how the front office has worked with my insurance company.

THIS DENTIST IS BREAKING FEDERAL AND ILLINOIS LAW!…read more After being quoted a ludicrous amount of money for my health plan, I requested my medical records over email to get a second opinion. I received no response. I called over a dozen times with no answer. Once I finally got through, I was told that my insurance hadn't paid yet, and I couldn't receive my medical records until they had received payment! This is against federal law. When I told them this, they continued to ignore my emails and phone calls. I decided to stop by the office and get my medical records, only to be told that this is their policy and that this policy trumps the law. They believe that signing the policy means that I agreed to this practice, even though having something illegal in a contract no longer makes it legally binding. Do not give your money to people who treat the law like it doesn't exist in their office.

*BEWARE* UNPROFESSIONAL * NO CUSTOMER SERVICE* This business…read moreis completely and utterly unprofessional!! I was notified by Text, upon arrival of a copay. Unacceptable!!!! I spoke with a representative from the office twice in the week, not once did she mention or notify me. Upon checking in with the receptionist, I was informed that I could pay with a credit card, but there would be a 3.9% fee. So I informed the 3 girls, I drove an hour to patronize this establishment. If only someone from the office used an ounce of customer service, I could have written a check or made a stop at my financial institution. I do not carry cash. All 3 girls staring aimlessly as if I'm speaking a foreign language. Black owned and operated businesses make it difficult to do business with, always whining about clients dedication, but the business owners have no professionalism
